About: Animals are our family members. There’s a good reason they say dog is mans best friend. Dogs are special. I have owned several dogs over the past 30 years I have dog sat for several friends and family members. I know your fur babies are precious which is why I treat them like they are my own. I have always only had good experiences with dogs. I am a sahm, so breaks to play or walk with a dog are welcome! We love being outdoors. Supervised Play keeps everyone safe and happy:) I homeschool one of my two kids so we have a pretty flexible schedule. We have a goldendoodle pup named Gracie she loves walks and chasing tennis balls and she would love some doggie friend play dates! We take several walks daily, trips to the park for a fun run or play in the yard with tennis balls and bubbles. Dogs will always be on leash to keep them close and supervised unless they are enclosed in a safe area.

About: New to Rover but not new to dogs and cats! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs and caring for them as part of the family. I currently share my home with two cats, a Black Lab, and a German Shepherd. I have experience with reactive dogs, high energy dogs and large breeds. I love spending time outdoors and especially enjoy hiking with dogs and exploring nature together. I can provide a pet taxi service to vet appointments, chiropractors or groomers. I am available for dog walks, drop-ins and also administering medication. I can also incorporate any type of training you are currently working on into drop-ins and walks. If you need someone dependable who will show up rain or shine, keep you updated with photos, and love your pet like family, I’d love to help. I look forward to connecting with your pets! I homeschool my 4 children and as they are getting older, I am finding more pockets of time in my schedule. Every day is a little different for us so I am flexible and have availability at different times throughout the day. I can carefully follow instructions based on your pet’s individual needs. I have a peaceful energy and really try to pay attention to their body language and what they are trying to tell me through that. I am very active and can walk long distances.
About: Growing up in a home with multiple dogs, a cat, and many small animals at once I can now provide the best care for your loved ones. I am currently attending Maryville University where I am majoring in interior design and minoring in business administration while also running track. I am looking for a flexible schedule where I can help support pet owners in the area, while also getting the opportunity to be around animals since I can’t have my own. I can handle many situations based on your wants/ needs whether that’s letting your dogs out into an electric fence or taking them on walks. I also know how to make sure your pets are safe and secure when leaving your home.
About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have done fostering and cared for many pets with sitting.

Again when I have them, they get my 100% attention. I can be around to take care of all their needs. My home has availability to have more than 1 dog if they are relaxed dog friendly or I mostly do 1 dog at time. Everything is discussed upfront and happy to have any meet and greet. I will go by rules you have at home to ensure it will be same here. IE. Crate, on furniture or no furniture. What foods needs and be sure to follow that all.
“Lindsay and her helpers were amazing! She is super sweet and I could tell she cared for my pets just like I would have! She was very thorough, going above and beyond send photos and keeping us updated during her visits! I will be using her for all our pet sitting needs!”
About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Over the years, I’ve raised and loved many pets of my own, and currently walk my dogs 2–3 times a day—rain or shine. Our daily routines include neighborhood strolls, adventurous hikes, and long weekends exploring the outdoors. I’ve traveled with my pups across Texas, Tennessee, and Missouri, and regularly vacation with my grandpuppies in the mountains of Colorado, Montana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I’ve also had the privilege of hiking and vacationing with my blind friend and her two incredible service dogs, gaining firsthand experience supporting animals with specialized needs. I cared for my own dog through two ACL surgeries and followed strict recovery plans, and I’ve successfully trained a high-energy German Shepherd mix using positive reinforcement methods. Whether it's providing companionship for a friend’s pet during long work shifts or pet sitting for neighbors on vacation, I treat every animal with the same love, care, and attention I give my own. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for in my hands! As a recent retiree, I have the time, flexibility, and energy to fully dedicate myself to pet care. Daily walks and outdoor adventures are already a natural part of my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending that time with a furry companion by my side. I love walking, hiking, and exploring local trails, parks, and neighborhoods, and dogs make those experiences even more joyful. Their energy, affection, and playful spirit bring me so much happiness, and it’s a true pleasure to provide them with the exercise, enrichment, and companionship they need throughout the day. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and respected—whether in my care at home or in a client’s home. I use positive reinforcement to build trust and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat all animals as members of the family, providing them with the same level of attention and care I give my own. When walking or visiting parks, I always keep pets on a leash and remain attentive to their surroundings, making safety my top priority. I follow any specific instructions you provide and take great care to maintain routines, comfort, and consistency—because your pet’s well-being is my responsibility, and I take that to heart.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellisville
Cindy is absolutely wonderful with our pups. We have two elderly girls who require a bit extra, including diapers and limited mobility, and Cindy has no problem with these added complexities. She is a great communicator too! It makes us so much more comfortable knowing our dogs are well taken care of when we are out of town. I highly recommend Cindy!

Elisabeth was incredible with our pets and went above and beyond to ensure they were well cared for while we were away. She is reliable and was so caring for our animals with all their needs. Highly recommended and we will definitely work with Elisabeth in the future!

It is so so clear that Beth loves our fuzzy babies—and they love her right back!!! She is a wonderful communicator and gentle as can be, playing with our two VERY high-energy spaniels. When we come home after they’ve been with her, they’re relaxed and totally unstressed. Thank you!!!

Lori was amazing! We are visiting from Indiana for a month and we needed a sitter for our blind dog. Lori came to meet us and was so sweet. If our dog could talk, I’m sure he would say how much he enjoyed Lori sitting with him. Thank you, Lori! You are the sweetest!
Gloria was absolutely wonderful while I was away. She was punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout my entire trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave me total peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Gloria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog walker.
